B-BBEE was intended to broaden economic participation and create opportunity for previously disadvantaged South Africans as part of Nelson Mandela’s vision of a united rainbow nation. Poverty knows no colour, and true empowerment should lift all South Africans who need it.
Productive Sustainable Communities (PSC) provide an inclusive platform to make B-BBEE contributions genuinely transformative — creating sustainable jobs, building skills, restoring dignity, and fostering shared prosperity for everyone, regardless of background.
How B-BBEE Can Fund Inclusive Growth in PSCs
- Socio-Economic Development (SED) — Fund care facilities, learning hubs, and community infrastructure that support entire families across generations.
- Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) — Invest in local production so PSC communities become reliable suppliers and thriving micro-enterprises, creating real jobs for all.
- Skills Development — Sponsor practical training with direct pathways to employment and business creation, open to all participants.
- Ownership & Management — Enable genuine community co-ownership and leadership roles that promote broad-based participation and unity.
